Ah, this feeling. I could feel my temporary form slowly
disappeared as I came into being. Finally the moment
was here. The moment when the last of the Clow Cards
was finally sealed.

Silence. I opened my eyes and found the beautiful full
moon shone against the darkness of night. Such a perfect
moment for the Last Judgement.

The five figures in front of me were motionless. The two
children with flashy outfits looked very tense. Another
little girl focused a little black box with glass eye
onto me. A woman, tall and slim, calmly greeted me with
a small smile. Hmm, she had the same element of power
with mine, although not strong. And Cerberus, as always,
had a frown on its face when it saw me.

"I am Yue," I broke the silence, "The Judgement-
Maker who will decide upon the new Master of Clow Cards."
I turned to my fellow Clow Cards Guardian, "Where is your
Candidate, Cerberus?"

He snorted, "And like usual, you're having your
eternal bad mood, aren't you, Yue?"

I chose to ignore that comment. Cerberus always thought
like humans. Mood? Ha, if I had been a human, I would
had laughed out loud. But I was a guardian of the Clow
Cards. I possessed no emotion.

I diverted my gaze onto the brown-haired boy with a
sword gripped tightly in his hands. I could feel a
rather strong magical power emanating from him. And
noticing the Chinese tradisional outfit he wore, I
assumed he's a descendant of the Li clan, the family
from Clow Reed's mother.

And the little girl with short hair beside Cerberus,
she was probably his friend. I looked closely at her
face, staring at me with confusion. She was wearing a
costume with sun and moon accent, and she was holding--
what! Clow's Seal Key? Ha, I was assuming wrong, then.

"I see that this little girl is your Candidate,"
I said without taking my eyes off her, "What can you
expect from this child, Cerberus?" The descendant of
Li clan might have a chance, but this little girl?
"She will not stand a chance against my Judgement."

"Yare yare," Cerberus mumbled and a little
angry growl came deep from its throat, "Don't
underestimate Sakura like that, Yue. You have seen
that she can catch and seal all the Cards by herself,
haven't you?"

Ah, yes... Kinomoto Sakura. I collected the
memories from my temporary form. "That does not prove
/anything/," I replied firmly.

Suddenly I felt something pressuring me. My master
has died a long time ago. And nobody could ever replace
Clow Reed for me. I didn't want a new master! And
Cerberus could go to hell if he thought otherwise!

I guessed unconsciously my eyes were getting colder,
because I saw Sakura shrunk before me. However, the
little girl was brave enough to continue looking back
at me. There was confusion and concern in her green
eyes.

"Yukito-san?" she whispered, taking a step
towards me, "Y... Yue-san is Yukito-san?"

What was the matter with this child? She should have
thought about her position instead of my temporary
form.

"B... But--," her voice dropped down even
softer.

Oh, I understood. How ironic. A Candidate for the
new Master of Clow Cards was in love with the
Judgement-Maker's temporary form?

I spread my wings and floated towards her,
"The person you know as Tsukishiro Yukito is just my
temporary form, little girl. I am Yue. One of the
Guardians of Clow Cards." I had to emphasize my
authority here. "The Judgement-Maker."

With the power I possessed, I immediately bring her
to in front of me. A little surprised, she gave
a small shriek and instantly all the Clow Cards
flew around her, protecting her. Hmm... very
interesting. Even /they/ had accepted her just like
their own Creator.

"Are you ready to face my Judgement, little
one?" I asked her emotionlessly.

"Sakura-chan!" the other little girl cried
out in concern.

The descendant of Li clan gritted his teeth and
unsheathed his sword instantly. What was he up
to? Hadn't the Li clan taught him about the process
of the Last Judgement?

"Don't even think to interfere," I warned
him, "This is solely between the Judgement-Maker
and the Candidate for the new Master of Clow Cards."
I glared at each of them coldly. "Any other of you
has no right to interfere in this matter."

I saw Cerberus blocking their way, "Tomoyo,
brat, don't! The Judgement is between Yue and Sakura,
and only her! You can't help her now!"

"Well done, Cerberus," I said, making a
kekkai surrounding me and the Candidate, "Shall we
begin now?"


=========================================================


The little one rather surprised me. Yes, her control
over her power was not advanced. Yes, she could barely
use the Cards effectively. Nevertheless... she was able
to bring herself against me.

Why had a little girl like her been able to collect
all the Cards that Clow created? And why did Cerberus
seem to be very fond of her? What power might this
child possess that I could not see?

"And it's finished," I said to Sakura who laid
prone on the ground, and to myself. Whatever power the
child had, it did not matter anymore. "You do not pass
my Judgement, little girl." Yes, only Clow Reed himself
was able to win over me. It's about time the Cards were
scattered again, waiting for another new Candidate.

"Just wait for a while," a gentle voice cut my
line of thoughts, "Let's not be too hasty to place
your Judgement." The beautiful woman who had kept her
silence was smiling at me.

Oh, someone dared to interfere in my Judgement. I aimed
my arrow at her. I had clearly issued my warning! No
one was to disturb this process!

"Your power won't harm me," she said calmly.

So it was. I still could feel the moon energy from her.
Very well, I could not attack her then. What did she
intend to do?

From the corner of my eyes, I could see Sakura
staring blankly at her, "M... Mizuki-sensei?"

"Sakura-chan," she raised a bell in her right
hand, "A gift for you... from Clow Reed."

"What?" I hissed, almost disbelieving my own
ears.

A pink glow encased Sakura completely, her eyes closed
slowly. And stunned, I watched how her Seal Key changed
shape! Even the little one was surprised when she saw
the Key in her grip had changed into star-shaped.

The beautiful woman with moon power laughed
softly, snapping me out of my shock, "Now you'd be
able to fare against the Judgement-Maker, Sakura-chan."

Oh, really? I gathered my power and focused
it to them, "We'll just have to see about that."

Sakura looks up to me, and I saw determination
shining clearly in her emerald eyes, "WINDY!"

Ha, I'd told you it wouldn't work. "You will
not--," I stopped in the middle of my words when I
realized that I could not move. The Windy was able
to immobilize me?

"It's impossible!" I yelled in disbelief. But
no matter how hard I tried, the fact was undeniable.
I lost.

Sakura walked towards me without hurry and
she stopped right in front of me. "Yue-san," she
called me gently.

This child, she called me as if she and I had a
close relationship. What was she up to?

"I know I'm still a child," she continued,
"but I want to learn how to protect you and Kero-chan."

Oh please, I was very capable of protecting myself.
I didn't need a new master just for it!

"I don't want to be your master."

You didn't? Then why did you--

"I want to be your friend."

Friend. The word repeated itself over and over
in my mind.

"Can I do that? I really love Kero-chan
and all the Cards. I also want to love you!"

I looked at her in surprise. Friend? Love? Why
did it matter to a child like her? Or... or
perhaps that was why she was a Candidate. The
light in her green eyes reminded me of something.
A memory of the time when Clow was there. My
master. Was this why Clow asked us to choose a
new master? Because he knew that this little girl
would be here?

Inwardly I smiled. And expressionlessly
I said to her, "Close your eyes."

"Hoe?" she asked in confusion.

"Yue, the Judgement-Maker in charge of
choosing the new Master of Clow Cards," I put my
index finger on her forehead, "accept Kinomoto
Sakura to be the new Mistress."


===========================================================


Sakura was laughing joyfully with the other
little girl who she called Tomoyo-chan, and
the descendant of the Li clan. From here, she
looked just like any other little girl in this
world.

Cerberus snorted beside me, "She is one
heck of a special girl, isn't she?"

"You can say that," was my only answer.

"You like her, don't ya?" it looked at
me, and I can see laughter in its eyes, "C'mon,
just admit it... you like her too, don't ya?"

"I don't hate her," I replied diplomatically.

Yes, I do like her. She is very special indeed.
And she would be the right Mistress for all of
us... not just a mistress, but also a Friend who
always will protect myself, Cerberus and all the
Cards Clow created.
